Save young hearts
More than 2000 Australians under the age of 50 die each year from unexplained cardiac arrests, with little or no warning.
77% are young men. 87% die.
Our goal: Stop fit, healthy Australians aged under 50 succumbing to sudden cardiac death
We will:
- Develop preventative strategies and treatments for sudden cardiac arrest.
- Determine if regular exercise can prevent the damaging effects of chemotherapy on the heart.
- Determine the effect of exercise on the heart.
